Title:
CENC is Optimally Secure
Authors: Tetsu Iwata, Bart Mennink, Damian Vizár
Abstract:At FSE 2006, Iwata introduced the CENC encryption mode and proved its security up to 2^{2n/3} plaintext blocks processed in total. He conjectured optimal security up to a constant. In this brief note, we confirm this conjecture. Rather than proving it ourselves, we point out that the conjecture’s proof follows as a corollary of Patarin’s ``Theorem P_i xor P_j for any xi_max’’ from 2010. This connection appears to have remained unnoticed, and the sole purpose of this brief note is to make the connection explicit.
